In the runup to our confrontation with Iran you will read a dozen stories from all of the usual MSM suspects. They will all intone, without actually saying, Iran can stop the whole world flow of oil. They will also try to dig up some ex-military people, Generals are preferred, to say Iran can block the Straits of Hormuz.

They will not, however, find anyone to say differently. Then the polls will come out asking "Considering that some military experts predict that we may not get any oil at all, do you support the Presidents decision to attack Iran?".

Then the selfsame MSM members who began the lie will trumpet the results.

Its how they work and its disgusting. Imagine for a moment if they put half the effort into supporting the President that they do into looking for the next gotcha moment. How nice would that be?

Makes you wish that Bush would take a tactic used by Lincoln during the war of Yankee aggression.

Close down and occupy with federal troops, all newspapers that printed false or incindiary stories.

Frankly I would love to see US Marines suddenly appearing in the News room of CNN and shut down the cameras during a live broadcast in the Networks main building.

Is it against the 1st Amendment? Yes, most likely. But we are in a war of survival and if they are not with us, they are against us and that translates into Treason in my opinion.

But that's just my opinion. Take it for what it's worth.

The MSM AKA the ENEMEDIA, are proactively working for the downfall of this country by formenting dissent! These stupid Iranian superiority propoganda storys promote oil price speculation increase. This raises the gasoline pump price. So far the most effective means of creating dissent and disgruntlement among the average uninformed citizen!

It's not the Republican president causing the price to go up! It "IS"TM BIlly Jeff the direct fault of Kommie Katy Kouric and the Rodham broadcasting system!!
